No, a Puddle Jumper does not need to be inflated.
A Puddle Jumper is a swimming aid and personal protective equipment (PPE) that helps your child stay afloat safely in the water. It is not a life jacket and therefore does not serve the same purpose as one. We always recommend keeping supervision so you can enjoy the water together safely.
Puddle Jumpers consist of a floating (foam) vest with arm and shoulder straps. This provides your child with stability and more freedom of movement. Arm Bands only go around the arms and need to be inflated. While armbands are usually lower in price, a Puddle Jumper generally lasts longer.

Yes, our Arm Bands are completely safe! They have been tested according to the strictest European laws and regulations and comply with the EN-13138-1:2021/AC:2022 standard. This ensures that your little one can safely discover the water!
Our Arm Bands are made of reinforced PVC material and feature a non-return valve. This means that air cannot easily escape from the Arm Bands, providing extra safety and even more fun in the water for your child!
The best way to inflate the Arm Bands is by blowing air into them through the inflation valve. Make sure to close the valve properly by pushing it inward so that it sits flush and does not stick out.
